planes - 0.5.0

planes is a hierarchical surface framework for Pygame, formerly called clickndrag.

Mouse-sensitive sprites. Hierarchical windows. Drag and drop. All with one new class. No messing with your main loop.

The planes module introduces the "Plane" class which extends PyGame's "Surface" functionality, offering a hierarchy of mouse-sensitive, draggable Surfaces that can be used as sprites, windows, icons or other interactive elements.

When you run it for the first time you need to have root/administrator permissions because the resources.zip will be unzipped initially. At least that worked for me.

Now, unless I did something incorrectly, I do not understand why nobody has asked how to get the planes gui running. I do not see instructions on Florian's website nor in the documentation. All I see on Florian's website is you type

... which I did, and I see the folder, but I do not see any executable file. Is this program not made for Windows or do I need to compile it as an exe? Windows OS only supports .exe and .com as an executable file.

Dear Bob,

planes 0.6.0 does not support Windows as of now it seems. Go to planes 0.5.0 and click the "Windows" link near the "Source" link. I know this was posted a year ago but maybe you'll see it or get it in an email and get started back on a project that this has been blocking. Good luck.
